DEVRAS TURNING 2 WAS EXCITING!
AROUND HIS 2ND BIRTHDAY, WE GOT DEVRAS TESTED FOR SPEECH DISORDER. ALL HE COULD SAY VERBALLY (THOUGH HE WAS UP TO OVER 30 SIGNS) WAS MAMA, DADDA,BEH,BAH. HE SHOULD OF BEEN SPEAKING AROUND 50 WORDS AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER.
I QUIT MY JOB TO FOCUS ON HIS NEEDS. AFTER JUST 5 MONTHS, WITH THE HELP OF HIS EC CARES TEACHER, AND MY KNOWLEDGE OF PRESCHOOL CRITERIA, HE NOW SPEAKS OVER 30 OR MORE WORDS, AND PUTS 4 WORDS TOGETHER!! HE CAN RECOGNIZE BY EITHER SIGN OR VERBAL 6 COLORS, NUMBERS 1-19, AND THE BASIC SHAPES!! WERE SOOO PROUD OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!
DEVRAS IS IN THE 95TH PERCENTILE OR MORE WITH HEIGHT AND WEIGHT. HE WEIGHS 40 LBS, AND IS ABOUT 38' TALL. HE IS NOT CHUBBY, JUST PROPORTIONED BIGGER THAN MOST 2 1/2 YR OLDS. MOST PEOPLE THINK HE IS 3 OR 4!!
HE LOVES THOMAS THE TRAIN, TRAINS IN GENERAL, ELMO, AND BLUES CLUES! FOR HIS 3RD BIRTHDAY....IM NOT SURE WHAT WE WILL DO...BUT, IT WILL BE BIG!
PLEASE SIGN DEVRAS' GUEST BOOK!
